The Dark Knight Harvey Dent/Two Face Thread

You can see the makeup in the last scene in this clip:

Video is gone. Got a different link? I assume it was an official video yes? Nothing illegal.

Anybody notice the differences between the Dent and Two-Face persona? I found that very interesting to watch. After the accident I think it was Harvey who was seething with rage and screaming. But when he got into Two-Face mode you could see all emotion leave him. He had this vacant, dead look to him which was downright scary.
It reminded me of a crocodile, they seem so still and almost look asleep but without warning they snap into action.
That's how Eckhart's Two-Face seemed, he was like a Zombie of Chance just as The Joker was an Agent of Chaos.

That really made me lol.

"Braaains.... possibly.. Braaains..... possibly"

But it seems an accurate description of him though. That's the scary thing about him, at certain points he is completely emotionless, just watch him when he says: "That's funny, I don't know what's going to happen to you either". He looks totally blank, completely controlled by the flip of the coin. It's scary, he really does look like a zombie, going forward emotionlessly. And yet he'll suddenly snap and start screaming at people.
Eckhart gave us such a unique performance, I hope he gets the credit he deserves.

Nevermind

Two-Face was really done well in the movie, I loved seeing him. Hopefully, he shall return in the sequel.

 

[The Chris]

He was definately the Two-face I always wanted to see and the Harvey Dent I always rooted for. Excellent.

 

[Two_Face]

Totally agree. He played the role to perfection and was very similar to the Dent we got in the animated series and it was cool to see that.

 

[magicangel1989]

Best Aaron Eckhart role ever! He plays both sides of the coin very, very well. I am very surprised at how young he looks for his age. He really is a amazing actor. Now i can't see anyone else play Harvey Dent/ Harvey Two Face as well as he could.

And the burns on the side of his face....CREEEPPY but in a good sort of way.

 

[Two_Face]

He should return in the sequel and team up with another villain...maybe the Riddler or Bane or something.

 

[TNC9852002]

Nah. That seems too generic. Rachel's dead, Maroni's dead, the Joker got the best of him and is in prison, Gordon learned his lesson and so did Batman/Bruce.

Two-Face doesn't need to come back for ANY reason.

Bring on Catwoman, Hugo Strange, and The Riddler.

I hope Two-Face returns. Him coming out of the woodwork would certainly make the Gotham public realize that Batman is, in fact, innocent.

Besides, who wouldn't want to see a scene where Crane busts out of his cell in Arkham (by spraying the guard, and then making him open the cell), releases the other "high-profile" inmates (like the Joker), and then decides to leave. Only then, before Crane and Joker leave, Crane notices an unmarked cell. Joker starts laughing, knowing who's inside it. They approach it, and BAM! Two-Face.

Crane: Aren't you supposed to be dead?
Joker: Heh. Only half.

Then the three of them break out. Of course, it's later revealed that it was the Riddler that gave Crane the gas he needed to break out.

Come ON, who doesn't want to see something like that? Who REALLY wants Two-Face to be dead?!

I would not want to see something like that because Two-Face, despite being one of them, hates the freaks. Maybe he embraces how different he has become but it's still the same ol' Harvey, trying to get rid of the gangsters. The Joker even says something to that effect in the comics.
He'd never agree to break out with those two, I don't think it would even come down to a coin toss.

 

[Compi716]

Oh, but he has. Check out Dark Victory. Sure, he doesn't leave with them per se, but when he's given the chance to get out of Arkham, he takes it. Even if it means working with the freaks to get what he wants.

Again, if anyone doubts whether or not Two-Face's return would be pointless, just read Dark Victory.

It's the Joker's return that would be pointless.

A Two-Face one would be... out of place and diminishing the finale of TDK, but not pointless, I agree.

See, the difference here with TLH and DV is that by the end of TLH Two-Face wasn't... you know... dead.

 

[Compi716]

I don't get it, TNC...why?

 

[Kaizer]

I don't get it, TNC...why?

If you loved TDK as much as the rest of us, you'll understand why. If Two-Face is alive, the whole purpose of the story is lost.

 

[Spade]

The first way to know that the sequel to this is lame is if they revive Two-Face. Like it's been said, the point of The Dark Knight would be lost for no rational reason at all (seeing as how Batman has a healthy number of villains that wouldn't require that).

 

[Compi716]

If you loved TDK as much as the rest of us, you'll understand why. If Two-Face is alive, the whole purpose of the story is lost.

Don't make assumptions. I do love TDK, probably as much as the rest of you. But I love the comic lore more. Reviving Two-Face does not have to mar the "purpose of the story." If anything, it can continue it.

Take a look at The Long Halloween. Very similar type of ending (albeit Two-Face is caught rather than killed). Now, could they have just left it there? Yes. The story illustrated the rise and fall of Harvey Dent, and showed what happened when you give in to the darkest parts of your personality. The fact is, however, that they ran with it. They brought Harvey back.

A talented storyteller is one who can take something that most feel cannot be done, and turn it into something brilliant. There is no reason why Two-Face can't be alive. Just because some are of the opinion that it would take away from the "whole purpose" of the story doesn't mean it has to.

 

[Nitemare]

i cant believe he killed the driver i was like OMGZ GAWDZZZ

 

[ronny]

I don't mind Two-Face returning. As long as he is portrayed like he was in TDK and the Sale and Loeb books. Basically a bloodthirsty vigilante with a twisted obsession with chance.
Two-Face should never commit traditional crimes like robbing banks. Harvey Dent was the White Knight, something mythical and noble. But Two-Face is like a dose of reality into that view, he cannot trust the courts or the cops and so has to clean up the city through ruthless and unethical means.
He's quite moralistic really.

i really hope they bring two-face back for the 3rd movie..

 

[nolan's roll'n]

Agreed.
